This was our second time. First time was a disaster .This time food was delish. Service was something to be desired . We never got bread , had to ask. Butter was soft, asked for different butter,came out same . Waiter never came to check on us, had to call for him as he swung past us. We actually had to ask a different waiter for another glass of wine. I think they ran out of tins to wrap food, he actually put our fish in a soup container.Not sure if we would visit again.😕

I've eaten there before and have been satisfied. This time we were in a very uncomfortably warm table in the corner. The restaurant was not busy this night and yet they could not get the temperature regulated to the comfort of the diners. The food was OK except the rack of lamb was not very good. Didn't seemed grilled, more like potted meat. Not cooked properly.

Our party of four had a delicious dinner with cocktails, appetizers and entrees. We had a mix of menu items and the daily specials. The portion sizes were generous and our food delicious. I can't wait to go back.
